Literal Version 

2:20 From death to life with the messiah

20 If you’ve died to worldly principles, then why are you letting yourselves be indoctrinated with worldly living: 21 ‘Don’t hold this. Don’t taste that. Don’t touch this.’ 22 No, All those rules lead to corruption when they’re used as the commands and teaching of humans. 23 They seem to be wise and make you more religious or humble as you strictly obey them, but don’t honour the realities of our worldly desires.

3 So if you all were brought back to life along with the messiah, then be concerned with discovering the things from above where the messiah is sitting on God’s right.[ref] 2 Yes, be thinking about things from above, not earthly things 3 because you’ve all ‘died’ and your lives have been hidden in God with the messiah. 4 When he’s revealed on his return, then your lives will also be revealed with him in GLORY.

You_may_ not _taste.
You_may_ not _touch.
22 Which is all things to corruption in_the depletion, according_to the commands and teachings of_ the _humans?
23 Which things is an_account indeed having of_wisdom in personal_religion and humility, and severity of_the_body, not in any honour against the_indulgence of_the flesh.

Literal Version COL 3:1

3 Therefore if you_all_were_raised_up_with with_the chosen_one/messiah, be_seeking the things above, where the chosen_one/messiah is sitting at the_right hand of_ the _god.
2 Be_thinking the things above, not the things on the earth.
3 For/Because you_all_died_off, and the life of_you_all has_been_hidden with the chosen_one/messiah in the god.
4 Whenever the chosen_one/messiah, the life of_you_all, may_be_revealed, then you_all also will_be_being_revealed with him in glory.
